LOVE... (grandparents and grand daughter)

I love this picture. There is so much love and happiness.
Makes me remember my own grandparents.

My baby Vien is the 1st grandchild in the family, and the 1st girl baby for my parents-in-law.
They have always wanted a baby girl, well, here is one baby girl for them to love and play with.

Thanks to Nita for introducing me to the paper crimper(available at times trading, Binondo).

See the stitches? i hand stitched them, thanks to Au's deckler ruler. I placed the ruler on the paper on the bed, then punch some holes using paper piercer (my case its the ordinary needle). then stitch away.
ooh, ooh and just for fun, I included some beads in to my stitching.



The frame is easy to make.
i cut out a frame from a card stack then run it through a paper crimper...
painted it for distress discolored effect....
stick torn, edge inked pattern paper to it...
Tada! a frame that looks like a corrugated board.



I had to hide these pictures because their background is too dark for the bright LO.
Nice interactive page.
i like to include them on this Lo coz i don't wanna make another one with this same theme (hehehehe, lazy me). and well, the pictures kind of belong together.



i stamped a scallop frame and painted it so that it will pop out.
and, i used my sizzix heart tabs for this. i just love these tabs.



I've got to improve on my journal skills but for the mean time i just stamped a nice tree flower thing on the blank space that i was hoping that i can put some journal on... but my brains went blank too for stuff to write on that space. hehehehehe

thanks for viewing.

Together they create a chain of love
